The concept of being "cisgender" completely contradicts the views of people who say it; the notion that gender expression is something open and broad, and not deeply attached to one's sex. If anything, it affirms the problematic logic that trans people are different and need their gender identity to be pointed out and differentiated, as opposed to understanding that so-and-so is expressing themselves with whichever gender identity they see fit.

I'm very supportive of trans and non-binary rights, and the freedom to express gender as one sees fit, but I personally feel the excessive labeling of everything does more harm than good. Just look at the infighting within the trans and NB community over semantics.

QAnon. It completely de-legitimizes the very real and tragic epidemic of child trafficking and abuse by propping it up as some over-the-top 1980s Satanic Panic nonsense.

My ex had literally no taste in anything. The only music she listened to was The Beatles and other 60s bands because it's what her father listened to. She wasn't indifferent, but disliked pretty much any type of music that wasn't what she listened to.

It was fucking weird.

I'm always surprised Disney never gave a shit about gaming. They put an astonishing amount of of technical R&D that goes into their CGI films and theme parks. Imagine if they made a game engine or something.

While we can definitely do a much better job providing assistance to the homeless, there will always be a chunk that can truly not be helped, whether due to mental illness, substance abuse, violence, or whatever else.

I just lost a brain cell reading this. You realize that they can be helped by giving them access to quality mental health treatment?

Once again, giving everyone unfettered access to social media was a mistake. Ignorant people need to be treated as lesser.

BLM as a philosophy is concrete and should be supported by everyone. Black Lives Matter, and anyone who disagrees is either a flat-out bigot, or at the least very uncomfortable with talking about racism.

BLM as an organization is a complete mess with some of the worst optics imaginable, which has mostly done more harm to the philosophy than good.

If the stories and characters were interesting I'd put up with them but god damn they're all so samey, and the gameplay is just cycling through menus. At least the Mario & Luigi games have some humor (that isn't cringey) and some timing involved.

Any good JRPG recommendations for me? I already tried the original FFVII and hated it.

Something's not adding up.

The internet is for everyone. Its people like you who are going to get it destroyed.

You're correct. That being said, social platforms and smartphones should not be for everyone.

We've already failed two generations of children by letting them have unfettered access to social media and the internet.

The elephant in the room was that not everyone was intellectually ready to have unfettered access to the internet. Smartphones were by and large a mistake.

The demo was one of the worst I've played in years. Played both the PC and Switch demos. Running it down...

• Every single face button and both triggers are mapped to the jump action
• Character movement is absurdly slow, even compared to old platformers
• NPCs don't do shit; just cycle through odd motion-capped dance animations and just disappear when you approach them
• The first level has a surreal "rolling" visual effect that makes you nauseous
• The general aesthetic and art direction are crazily inconsistent; some assets having zero effort put into them and others being photorealistic
• Some costumes you can wear (which affect gameplay) don't allow you to jump
